Ask and you shall receive (a week later because it was on hold at the library)

Later I rolled my pants up to my knees and went wading in the ocean. Managed to soak myself up to my thighs. Because of course I did. That’s why I packed backup pants!

In Florida for the first time in literal decades, looking out the window of a cab, a conversation I have with myself:
“WTF is wrong with those squirrels?!? Squirrels don’t move like that.”😱🐿️
“…those are lizards.”😖🦎

There used to be penguins in the lobby of a veterinarian school near Hakataza in Fukuoka. I had to have photographic evidence before anyone was capable of hearing my repeated ペンギンがいるよ！Yeah, I know it‘s crazy, that’s why I’m telling you!

Been meaning to mention this for, uh, a year now, but when I had a half-day layover in Tokyo last year, I went to Skytree because of you. (I also bought a trench coat, but that’s not relevant to this discussion.)

I once needed to type 引継 without remembering it’s reading. Decided to figure it out instead of just copy-pasting it into the dictionary.

“OK, that‘s いん from 引用 and けい from 継続...“

Reader, I did not get the word I was looking for when I hit spacebar.

Makes sense

8 was a minidisc player and why is there no 19?

どこ行くの？ドンキーホテだよ。やっぱり！

I love it and I hate it. Just like the store, really...

“Look Down” is brilliant (as are all of them, but that made me laugh out loud). Gotta go cue up Choo Choo Train (I only remember the choreography?!?) in the hopes it drives Miracle Shopping out of my head.

Got my copy of @horbinski.bsky.social’s Manga’s First Century today!

I have a swim cap that has a cartoon squid on it with the caption まあイーカ. It is so stupid and I love it.

The marmot wants to sell you hard gummies but I don’t know why: www.lotte.co.jp/products/bra...

Should figure out how to change my screen name to “Sister of Hugo Award Winning Marie Brennan”

Thank you for the turtle, I love her so much

The only “good” thing about my first time going there was I used the three hours I sat around on the floor waiting for my number to be called (to submit a work permit request?) studying for an exam.

I immediately said “Rosso” out loud followed by “better a pig than a fascist” while watching the first episode.

I am tagged in this picture and I, oh what’s the word? Don’t like it?

I’ll get back to you, N1 study books. Someday. Maybe. >_>

Probably 口寂しい (kuchi-sabishii)

Have none of them seen the super totally true documentary 飛んで埼玉?!?

I was so good at typing with a keypad. WHEN PHONES HAD BUTTONS

I taught this to a friend who could only remember the literal translation and turned to Google to refresh his memory when trying to share it with some coworkers. TL;DR, do not search “middle age man gag” unless that is what you intend to find.

For my very first post ever, I would like to share that “10pm Tater Tots” and “十時じゃがいも” are both alliterative.

It is @swantower.bsky.social’s fault that I came to this realization, but since she’s preheating the oven right now, all is forgiven.

The eyes need to be a little lower and further apart, but yes. Muppet Lunch.
